Abstract
The article discusses the issues related to the adaptation of flights performed by military unmanned aerial vehicles in Poland (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle – UAV) to the civil aviation requirements. The unmanned aerial vehicles’ flight capabilities were discussed from the perspective of using the automatic flight control system to minimise a threat to civil and military aviation. Owing to the growing interest of the European Union (EU) in unmanned systems, there are many threats related to the broadly understood traffic safety in the European airspace.
Highlights
The aim of this paper is to present the results achieved in solving the problem of aviation safety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at the Air Force Institute of Technology
The above issue is related to the analysis of safety in the European Union (EU) airspace based on the international programme “ERA”, the objective of which is to allow the unmanned aerial vehicles of civil and military aviation to move in the non-segregate European airspace and to provide the safety levels of operation in emergency modes
In order to make it possible to apply, develop and conduct further studies in the field of unmanned civil and military aviation, it is necessary to create legal regulations defining safe adaptation of the unmanned aerial vehicles to the conditions prevailing in public airspace – both of the domestic and international airports – respecting the legal regulations in the European Union defined over the years
Summary
The aim of this paper is to present the results achieved in solving the problem of aviation safety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) at the Air Force Institute of Technology. The above issue concerns the safety analysis in the airspace of the European Union based on the performance of work in the international project “ERA” (Enhanced RPAS Automation). At the Air Force Institute of Technology, experimental constructions of the unmanned aerial vehicles were created in the structural form of a “flying wing” (“Falcon”, “Wampir”, “Chrabąszcz”), in the classic form (“MP45”, ”LUAV”, “HOB-bit”, recognition systems: “Rybak”, “Pszczoła”, “Nietoperz”, “Sarys”) and rotary observation platforms, such as “ILX-27” helicopter robot for special tasks, “Koliber” and the “Atrax” unmanned aerial vehicle of vertical take-off and landing [4]
